Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood just etched their names into All Elite Wrestling’s record books in the most fitting way possible – by doing what they do best. The veteran tag team specialists didn’t just walk away with another victory at Double or Nothing; they officially claimed their spot as AEW’s most successful tag team duo of all time.
Record-Breaking Victory Over Unlikely Opponents
Sunday night’s Double or Nothing showcased an intriguing matchup that stemmed from backstage drama rather than championship aspirations. FTR found themselves across the ring from an unexpected pairing: technical wizard Daniel Garcia and commentary veteran-turned-competitor Nigel McGuinness.
The path to this confrontation traced back to AEW Dynasty, where Wheeler and Harwood’s betrayal of Cope created shockwaves throughout the roster. When the dust settled and Tony Schiavone found himself in FTR’s crosshairs, Garcia and McGuinness stepped up as unlikely defenders of the beloved announcer.
Despite facing opponents with vastly different backgrounds and experience levels, FTR’s ring psychology and tag team chemistry proved insurmountable. Their victory added another chapter to their already impressive AEW legacy.
Historic Milestone Reached in Style
The win against Garcia and McGuinness carried extra significance beyond the storyline implications. With this latest triumph, FTR officially surpassed all other tandems in AEW’s win column, cementing their status as the promotion’s most successful tag team unit since the company’s inception.
This milestone speaks volumes about the consistency and longevity that Wheeler and Harwood have maintained throughout their AEW tenure. From their days as former AEW World Tag Team Champions to their current role as veteran leaders, they’ve consistently delivered in high-pressure situations.
Collision Spotlight Awaits
The celebration continues on Saturday night’s AEW Collision, where FTR will take center stage alongside their associate Stokely Hathaway. This segment promises to highlight their historic achievement while potentially setting up future storylines.
Wrestling fans can expect the duo to address their record-breaking status and possibly reveal their next targets in AEW’s competitive tag team landscape. With Stokely’s promotional skills backing their in-ring prowess, this appearance could reshape the division’s hierarchy.
International Championship Tournament Heats Up
Tonight’s Collision card extends beyond FTR’s victory lap, featuring crucial International Championship qualifying action. Two four-way tournament spots remain up for grabs in what promises to be showcase matches for international talent.
Claudio Castagnoli brings his European technical mastery against high-flying sensation Komander in one qualifying bout. The second features Mascara Dorada’s lucha libre expertise clashing with Hechicero’s mysterious in-ring style.
These matches represent AEW’s commitment to showcasing diverse wrestling styles while building toward championship opportunities for deserving competitors.
FTR’s record-setting achievement at Double or Nothing proves that veteran experience still matters in professional wrestling’s rapidly evolving landscape. As they prepare to address their historic milestone on Collision, one question lingers: which tag team will step up to challenge AEW’s newly-crowned winningest duo?
